Jared Goff comes in for Rams when John Wolford injured on questionable hit early in playoff game

Jared Goff was active but didn’t start for the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.

He came into the game in the first quarter anyway.

John Wolford, who started for Goff, was hit hard on a run when he dove forward and stayed on the ground. Goff, who had thumb surgery 12 days before the game, warmed up as Wolford was looked at.

Initially a penalty flag was thrown on Jamal Adams for what looked like an illegal hit, but officials picked it up and explained that because Wolford was a runner on the play and didn’t slide, the hit wasn’t illegal.
